I agree with your view that book is the best resource for learning. I have read so many tutorials that were just bad, that reinvented the wheel, mixed patterns in MVC, had business rules in javascript without server side validation and so on. Books usually will touch on why something is done a certain way and you can trust an author that is well regarded in the field. I guess it may take a bit more effort.
